Pierce Brosnan chokes on Jimmy Fallon's tomato salsa but Helen Mirren is unfazed and keeps on eating
Jimmy Fallon thanked the two stars for being there, as he shared with the audience a picture of Helen Mirren's last appearance on the show during the pandemic. Mirren gave an interview via ZOOM, and she gave it while taking a bubble bath in her home. When asked about her choice of venue for the interview, Mirren said, 'I thought I might as well be comfortable.' Brosnan admitted that he too has dabbled in the bubble bath sphere and that it was one of the 'daft' things he did when he was discovering America. Fallon, then, pulled a plate with several ingredients to make a salsa sauce during the show.

Helen Mirren was quite happy with the idea, but Pierce Brosnan wasn't a hundred per cent sure after smelling the tomatoes and seeing Jimmy Fallon struggle while cutting them. He even quipped, 'Well, it seemed like a good idea in the morning, didn't it, Jimmy?' Fallon pulled himself up by the bootstraps and finished the sauce, which was then sampled by the stars with some nachos. Both loved the salsa, but as the jalapeno started kicking in, Brosnan's face started changing, and he started to cough. He took his cup and started taking several sips of the beverage as he continued coughing profusely. During this, Mirren couldn't give a damn and kept on eating the nachos with the salsa while complimenting Fallon. Brosnan said, 'I don't do hot sauce or jalapenos in general. Sorry, it's okay, I'll be fine; you two carry on.'
Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren also talked about The Thursday Murder Club, and their role in the first season of Mobland. Fallon stated, 'I have been watching you in Mobland, and my god, you guys are evil.' Mirren and Brosnan laughed it off before she gave a slight peck on his cheek, and Brosnan said, 'Jalapeno kisses.' The Queen actor then shared how amazing it was working with the cast and said, 'What's great about The Thursday Murder Club is that we all knew each other from before. I worked with Ben Kingsley when I was doing theatre in my 20s. I have worked with Celia Emrie; she was in Calendar Girl, and she was brilliant. It was like working with a group of people with whom you went to college.' Brosnan then revealed that he worked with Mirren in his very first film, The Long Good Friday, directed by John Mackenzie.

Ahead of its release, the actress sat for an interview with an entertainment media portal where she shared her candid thoughts on the trending Labubu dolls. The actress, joined by co-star Priya Bapat and director Raaghav Dar, revealed a conversation with her daughter about the increasingly popular toy. Surveen Chawla on Labubu dolls During an interaction with Zoom, she stated, 'It is a craze among young children. My daughter was talking about a Labubu doll. I said, 'Listen, it is very strange.' And she was like, 'Why? It's not strange. Mumma, don't call it strange. It is so cute.' It is anything but cute. I didn't find it cute." Labubu Dolls Craze in Bollywood It is worth noting that Labubu dolls have caught the attention of several Bollywood celebrities, with many even using it as a keychain dangling from their handbags. Urvashi Rautela, Ananya Panday, Sharvari Wagh and even Ranveer Singh's mother have been seen sporting the quirky Labubu Dolls. Surveen Chawla's Reaction to People's Expectations on Her Looks Beyond dolls and trends, Surveen also spoke about societal expectations around celebrity appearances. The actress reacted to people's expectations about her looks and said, 'It's not my job to take care of the expectations of the people for the way I look. That's only my problem, and what they expect is their problem," she remarked, adding that she doesn't even read most of my comments, unless it's work related. Surveen added, 'If I start living my life according to other people, then it's doomsday for me—mentally, physically, and in every possible way. I stay clear about that. I don't even put my life out there on social media so much. It is very rare that I do that. I take the good from what is written and ignore the bad that is also written. It is convenient for me. I will want to live up to their expectations as far as my craft is concerned. I will take positive feedback and will take criticism in my stride. But apart from that, it is nobody's business. It is only mine." Andhera's Storyline and Cast Set to premiere on Prime Video on August 14, Andhera is a gripping urban horror series where a sinister force looms in the shadows to haunt the living.
